Can I forward emails from a specific sender automatically?

Yes. Create a rule matching the sender and choose immediate forwarding. Everything else on that address can stay on its digest schedule.

Can different emails go to different inboxes?

Yes. Each alias forwards to its own destination, and rules can route within that, so one Paced Email account can feed several inboxes.

Do rules work with digests?

They're designed together. A rule can pull a sender out of the digest for instant delivery, or push a noisy sender into a slower schedule.

Can I block a sender completely?

Yes. Blocked senders are stopped at the forwarding layer, so nothing reaches your real inbox. No filter maintenance required.

Rules & routing

Auto-forward specific emails, without fighting your provider's filters

Forwarding certain emails to another address shouldn't require a maze of Gmail filters, verification hoops, and forwarding limits. Paced Email rules route mail by sender or address the moment it arrives: instantly, on a schedule, or straight to the bin.

Route by sender, not by hope

Send invoices to your accountant, alerts to your phone-checked inbox, and newsletters to a weekly digest, automatically.

Instant for the urgent

Rules can bypass any digest, so mail from your boss, your bank, or your co-founder always forwards immediately.

Silence for the rest

Everything without an urgent rule waits politely in a scheduled digest instead of buzzing your phone.

Block at the front door

Blocking rules stop unwanted senders before they ever reach your real inbox. No filters to maintain downstream.

How it works

Up and running in three steps

Give each purpose an address

Use one alias for invoices, one for alerts, one for newsletters, or route an existing alias.

Add a rule

Match on sender or recipient and choose: forward now, hold for the digest, or block entirely.

Let mail sort itself

New messages follow the rules the moment they arrive. No more manual triage.

Why provider filters keep letting you down

Gmail's auto-forwarding requires verifying each destination, caps how filters can forward, and everything breaks quietly the day a sender changes their from-address format. Rules that live in the forwarding layer, before mail hits any one provider, are simpler to reason about and work the same for every destination.

Triage that happens before the inbox

Most email advice is about processing faster: labels, stars, snoozes. Rules flip the model. Decide once where each kind of mail belongs, and your inbox only ever contains things that genuinely needed to be there today.

Pacing and routing, combined

Because rules and digests live in the same place, you can express things filters simply can't: 'receipts wait for the monthly digest, unless they're over-limit alerts, which come through now'. One system, no side effects.
